USS Yorktown

Patriot’s Point Naval and Maritime Museum is one of the most-visited attractions in the Carolinas. The centerpiece of Patriot’s Point is the world-famous aircraft carrier USS YORKTOWN, a heavily decorated warship that played a vital role in America’s victory in the Pacific during World War II. A versatile venue, the Yorktown lends itself perfectly to a casual M.A.S.H. or U.S.O. theme, as well as a seated patriotic dinner, with the sounds of Duke Ellington style music. Dinner can be served on the flight deck or in the hangar with hangar doors open on each side to provide cool breezes and spectacular views of the Charleston skyline.
